Primrose Peg Doll - Victorian Ladies Doll Knitting Pattern

Here is Primrose Peg Doll. This is a knitted peg doll and is dressed as a Victorian Lady. The dolls are knitted in Double Knitting Wool & Worked Flat. I have included an easy version for children (beginners) knitters. The easy version is knitted completely in garter stitch.

This pattern would suit Beginners.

This pattern can be bought as a PDF Digital Download from - Etsy, Love Knitting, Makerist & Ravelry.

I took my inspiration from Princess Victoria, who as a child had a collection of 132 small dolls. She lived a lonely childhood at Kensington Palace before she inherited the British throne in 1837. She would make clothes and name the dolls after theatre characters & ladies from society.

The doll wears a tight bodice and full skirt which shapes out. One dress has a picot edge and another a flared version. The waist is pulled in which was the fashion at this time. A waist band is included and can be attached with or without a bow. The doll comes with a detachable bonnet. Hair and face features can be coloured in with pencil or paint.

The peg doll can be knitted in a couple of hours. She fits beautifully into a small tin and looks quite at home in a child's doll house.

About Me

Knitting and stitching is my passion.
I love the texture of wool, I enjoy the repetitiveness of knitting and I love creating dolls from a variety of inspiration. I have combined my interest of historical and national costume into my doll designs. My dolls are based on Grodnertal/ Dutch Wooden Dolls.
My needlework designs are based on art, my biggest influence is Folk Art/ Naïve Art. I take my inspiration from history, costume, personal experience, nature and art.
My work is completely original and my designs are simple to make. All my knitting patterns are worked flat, with two needles, but they are easy enough to knit on the round.
I hope you enjoy looking at my patterns, as much as I enjoy designing them.
